From Wikipedia: "While living in the home the Smiths' first child, Alvin, was born and died. Alvin is buried just east of the historic site in the McKune Cemetery. A large percentage of the Book of Mormon was translated by Smith while living in the home. According to Smith, the Aaronic priesthood was restored to him and Oliver Cowdery on May 15, 1829 somewhere in the woods near the home."
There is currently construction at the site. The monument is accessible by the road.
